PGM 1027 'RUMINATIONS' : nov.8-15

In the cooling nights of autumn, we
return to the treasury of music on the German ECM Records label. For
quality, consistency, and unity of vision, ECM has no peer. In the
post-genre, trans-cultural world of ECM, the motto is "The Most
Beautiful Sound Next to Silence."

It began in 1969 as Editions of Contemporary Music and focused on European jazz. In the
course of over 1200 albums, the repertoire has broadened to include
classical music both old and new (on the ECM New Series), as well as
innovative recordings of contemporary folk, world and experimental
music.

Yet for all the breadth, depth and variety of the
ECM repertoire, there are sonic and emotional streams that run through
the entire catalog, the product of the refined sensibility and native
perfectionism of ECM founder and producer MANFRED EICHER.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the introspective, atmospheric
sound of ECM Records, on a program called RUMINATIONS. Music is by ELENI KARAINDROU, JOHN SURMAN, MIROSLAV VITOUS & JAN GARBAREK, EBERHARD WEBER, and EIVIND AARSET.
